50rd 7.62mm Ball L2A2 inner trays, from metal ammo tin

#1 Post by saddler »

After some of these....JUST THE GREEN PLASTIC TRAY - not the outer box or any 7.62 ammo/brass.

As typically happens - as soon as I find a use for a bit of kit the supply dries up

Was used to seeing them lying aroubnd everywhere unwanted & unloved - now: no sign at any of the recent shows etc. sign85

Anyone have any gathering dust

I'm always on the look out for them as well. Very useful for reloading and storage of ammo.

I'm afraid I only have one and its firmly glued into my range box. Can you make one by cutting up an old civilian ammo box?

I have a few and always find them a bit awkward to use. HPS used to package their ammunition boxed in these things, worth giving them a call maybe?

These were made to order of RG. Production ceased a year or so back. John Carmichael (HPS Ltd) bought the entire remaining supply. I have about 30 left over from HPS exporting our ammo to South Africa. Bids for the lot accepted by PM - all proceeds to GBRT SA 12.

I have 7 at the NRA. I can get £1 each from a well-known gunsmith very nearby. What am I bid?
